2015-02-0716:17:05berserk9779Pixel dungeon is really cool, but does it belong here?

2015-02-0716:17:30berserk9779I couldn't run it on linux, it is an android game

2015-02-0716:30:42LeMasberserk9779< I couldn't run it too. It is an android game. So I don't think it belongs to here. Let's wait for an Administrator.

2015-02-0716:35:45LeMasYou need android or an emulator to run this game. And thats why I don't think the game is on the right page. LGDB is for native linux games only.

2015-02-0804:45:03nullzerotechnically there is a desktop version for Pixel Dungeon ([url]) and Shattered Pixel dungeon ([url], with an .jar java executable. I tried both and they worked!

2015-02-0910:48:58AkienI played pixel dungeon on desktop quite a bit (see nullzero's links), so IMO it deserves to be here.

2015-02-0910:51:01LeMasOk, you are right. I got it too. So it works fine and it deserves to be here. Sorry for my mistake, I just didn't found the desktop download :) Nice game

2015-02-0910:53:04AkienThough sadly the desktop version is stuck at 1.7.2a, even though the android version is already at 1.7.5. But I'm not fluent enough in Java to package the 1.7.5 desktop version from source.
